The Litzbach flows through the Silbertal, and its adventure trail turns the water into a playground: stations with water wheels, dams, balance beams and a Kneipp facility, in between meadows, bridges and benches. The whole route measures around 9 km (270 m of elevation, about 2¾ hours) but can be walked in short sections from the village centre. Easy, pushchair-friendly for large parts, refreshments in the village.

International family portals count the trail among the recommended summer outings with small children in the Montafon; the Kristberg cable car at the end of the village adds the mountain option.
